About Us

Bob has an extensive background in the Crop Insurance industry, spanning over 30 years. He has also owned citrus groves and a small ornamental nursery in the past. He currently owns several farms in central Georgia.

Mike has been in the nursery and brokering business his entire adult life and is known around the industry for his plant knowledge and superior material. From Disney to the White House, Mike has supplied and installed material all over the country. Additionally, he has consulted and helped build over 200 nurseries in the Southeast.

Mike’s son, Garrett, has joined the team as the Nursery Manager. Garrett has a background in Natural Resource Conservation, land reclamation, and policy from the University of Florida. He specializes in Mitigation supply and installation.
